JSON to JSON Schema Class

Tool Introduction

This tool is a convenient online JSON to JSON Schema generator. It can automatically analyze the JSON data structure you input and derive the corresponding JSON Schema definition based on its content. This is an extremely practical auxiliary tool for developers who need to perform data format validation, API documentation writing, database model definition, and front-end/back-end data interface standardization. With this tool, you can quickly and accurately generate rigorous Schema definitions for your JSON data, effectively improving development efficiency and data quality.

How to Use

1. Paste the JSON data you need to convert into the input box on the left (or top). Please ensure that the pasted JSON data is a correctly formatted and valid JSON string.
2. Click "Generate Schema" or a similar conversion button. The tool will immediately parse the input JSON and infer its structure.
3. In the output box on the right (or bottom), you will see the automatically generated JSON Schema definition. You can directly copy this Schema for use in your project.

Input parameter format requirements: Must be a valid JSON string conforming to JSON standards, such as a JSON object {} or a JSON array [].

Output result format description: The output will be a JSON object conforming to the JSON Schema Draft 07 (or other latest version) specification, describing the data type, properties, required fields, enum values, and other information of the input JSON.

Usage Example

Below is a simple example of converting JSON data into JSON Schema:

Example Input Data:

{
  "username": "johndoe",
  "email": "john.doe@example.com",
  "age": 28,
  "interests": ["coding", "reading"],
  "isAdmin": false,
  "profile": {
    "country": "USA",
    "city": "New York"
  }
}

Expected Output Result (JSON Schema):

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "username": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "email": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "email"
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "integer"
    },
    "interests": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "isAdmin": {
      "type": "boolean"
    },
    "profile": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "country": {
          "type": "string"
        },
        "city": {
          "type": "string"
        }
      },
      "required": [
        "country",
        "city"
      ]
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "username",
    "email",
    "age",
    "interests",
    "isAdmin",
    "profile"
  ]
}

Specific operation demonstration: Users only need to paste the example input JSON on the left into the tool's input area, then click the "Generate Schema" button, and the output area on the right will immediately display the above JSON Schema result.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What JSON input formats are supported? A: This tool supports any valid JSON string conforming to JSON standards, including JSON objects ({...}) and JSON arrays ([...]).
• Q: What is the format of the output JSON Schema? A: The output result is a standard JSON Schema object, usually following the latest Draft specification (e.g., Draft 07), including type, properties, required fields, enums, and other definitions.
• Q: Can the tool handle complex nested JSON structures? A: Yes, this tool can deeply parse multi-level nested JSON data and generate a complete, clearly hierarchical JSON Schema definition for it.
• Q: Does it support inferring more validation rules beyond data types? A: Based on basic type inference, the tool will also try to infer the items type of arrays, the required fields of objects, etc. For more advanced validation rules (such as pattern, minimum, maximum, etc.), users may need to manually add or adjust them after generating the basic Schema.

Notes

• Input data format: Please ensure that your input JSON data is a well-formed and valid JSON string, otherwise the tool may not be able to correctly parse and generate the Schema.
• Schema accuracy: The generated JSON Schema is inferred from the example JSON data you provide. If your example data is not representative (e.g., some fields may be empty or missing), the generated Schema may not fully meet your final expectations and may require manual fine-tuning.
• Privacy and security: This tool typically completes data processing in the front-end browser environment, and your JSON data will not be uploaded to the server, ensuring data security and privacy.
• Advanced rules: The tool mainly focuses on automatic inference of data structures. For advanced validation rules such as regular expression matching (pattern), numerical range (minimum/maximum), string length (minLength/maxLength), you may need to manually add and optimize them after generating the basic Schema.

What is JSON Schema?

JSON Schema is a powerful tool based on the JSON format, used to describe JSON data structures. It defines the structure, type, format, required fields, allowed value range, and other validation rules for JSON data. Simply put, JSON Schema is like a "blueprint" or "contract" for JSON data, ensuring that data transfer and processing between different systems conform to expected specifications. It is itself a JSON document, defining data models through keywords (such as type, properties, required, etc.).

Common Uses of JSON Schema

JSON Schema has a wide range of applications, mainly including:

• Data validation: This is its core purpose. Through JSON Schema, strict format and content validation can be performed on data before it enters the system, effectively preventing invalid or malicious data from affecting the system.
• API Documentation: Combined with tools like OpenAPI (Swagger), JSON Schema becomes a standard way to describe RESTful API request and response data structures, greatly improving the accuracy and readability of API documentation.
• Code Generation: Many tools can automatically generate data model classes (such as Java POJOs, TypeScript interfaces) based on JSON Schema, thereby reducing manual coding workload and improving development efficiency.
• User Interface Generation: Data input forms or configuration interfaces can be dynamically generated based on Schema definitions, enabling visual data management.
• Data Migration and Transformation: When dealing with different versions or formats of data, JSON Schema can serve as the basis for defining data structures, assisting in data validation, transformation, and compatibility checks.
